      I disagree just a bit, it is beautiful, but his voice doesn't have the resonance of Roy's, but he is young, it could still become more like Roy's.

    I worked as a Nightclub singer, session singer (did a lot of commercial jingles for TV and Radio) and anywhere I had to sing I did - not an easy life, but let me tell you, I think you are WONDERFUL and your pitch and intonation are spot-on and "Crying" by Roy O. is not an easy tune - I'm putting you in my Subscriptions and I want to know how you are doing ~ thank you for restoring my faith in young singers of today - John Gainor

    Oh, Elliot. The way you took those last notes. I found myself grabbing my hand to my heart. They were just beautiful sweet. And so emotional. And of course- the strength of the notes was great. One of the hardest songs to not only hold notes of, but to pour emotion into, in the way that that song needs

You have an awesome voice and I'm still hoping that some day you will do some live (in person) shows that I can enjoy in person.

    played in the UK , just as good live , that did him a massive compliment an nnearly as good as Big O but I love that it was similar but his own not trying to sound the exact same an doing so with ease , beautiful an thank you 😊❤🇬🇧

    @whitecross7648 Před měsícem +4

    He's wonderful, but many singers can do this. Their identity is channeled through their voice. I grew up in the Los Angeles area. Some of the talent can take your breath away. One guy could sing like a bruiser on heavy metal tracks & then turn around & sing EXACTLY like Diana Ross or Beyonce at the drop of a hat. It's wonderful that he can be applauded for this by social media, but it wasn't that way in my youth. ❤❤
